hi there,
I have gone through the essential and one-on-one trainings but i m messing up with vector masked shapes. I chose a rectangular tool to draw a rectangle. After that trying hard to delete some of its contents to give it a shape of my choice but it is constantly givin me message that "the contents of this layer are not directly editable". I have rasterized the shape as well but nothing helps. Frown
What to do? Is there anyone who can help me plz?
Thanks

Hey Top,

Not exactly sure what you're up to but the pen tool will add, subtract, or alter any point in a vector mask. Vector shapes act just like paths.

Have fun,

When you use the shape tool, what option are you selecting? The first is for a filled shape mask layer, the middle for a path only, and the right one for a filled shape only.
